lyrics

I hope we don’t get burned. This is the moment of our enrolment into all the things we’ve learned - like the enjoyment in self-employment. When me, Jim, Bob, and Larry attempt to carry onto the ferry something so wary, only we’ll know what we bury. If things get hairy, there’s always Larry.
Larry said he’d take the blame. He said he’d do it, “There’s nothing to it.”
And who am I to complain. We won’t ignore it, we’ll pay him for it. Then he’ll go away and when he’s through it, he’ll come back to it. Then we’ll share the cake and because I know him, I think I’ll show him for giving his life away, giving his life away for the cause. How does it feel to be giving your life away?
Now comes the time where we either do it or just say screw it (but I think we’ll be just fine). I think we’re ready, our plan is steady. When me, Jim, Bob, and Larry attempt to carry something so wary, only we’ll know what we bury. If things get hairy, there’s always Larry. Larry’s giving his life away. He’s giving his life away for the cause. How does it feel to be giving his life away?
